Ballistic West End Alehouse & Kitchen

It had only been a year for Salisbury-based brewery Ballistic Beer Co., before the itch to expand took hold. After being welcomed with open arms by craft-beer lovers in early 2017, the crafty crew looked to extend its sphere of influence to Brisbane’s inner suburbs. In May the brewery opened Ballistic West End Alehouse & Kitchen Montague Road, taking over the space previously occupied by Pour Choices. Ballistic West End Alehouse & Kitchen showcases the brewery’s full range of award-winning craft beers, which will make the 20-minute journey from the Salisbury brewery straight to the West End taps, alongside dishes designed to complement and match the brewery’s efforts. Those wanting to put a few hairs on their chest can send back a boilermaker – pairing Ballistic beers with a matching spirit – while gin lovers can sip on tricked-out gin and tonics made with creative ingredient pairings.
